Gentrification: Views from Clinton Hill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xIyiSgvEBQ

For my final project I decided to focus on how gentrification has impacted my neighborhood, Clinton Hill, told through the eyes of my family. I used film as my medium and have created a short documentary incorporating the narratives of my grandmother and younger brother. I chose my grandmother and brother as my subjects because I wanted to make my project personal by having it be two people who are close to me as well as compare and contrast the experiences of the young and the old.
